DESCRIPTION:In the last few decades\, Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs
 ) have emerged as a paradigm changing optical detector. This has been aide
 d by significant progress in the development of SPADs in solid-state techn
 ologies\, especially in CMOS processes. As a result of their high gain and
  sensitivity\, fast response\, digital-like outputs\, integration with rea
 dout circuits\, and ruggedness\, they are extremely attractive for a wide 
 range of applications such as automotive (LiDAR)\, biomedical (FLIM)\, hig
 h-energy physics\, HDR imaging\, and even quantum computing. This talk wil
 l introduce the operating principles of SPADs\, realization of different t
 ypes of SPADs in conventional CMOS processes and their associated performa
 nce metrics\, different readout circuits\, and SPAD-based sensors. Experim
 entally verified prototypes of CMOS SPADs and SPAD-based sensing systems f
 or a variety of applications will be used to illustrate the advantages and
  possibilities of these detectors.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Dr. Shaan Sengupta\n\
